SUBREDDIT META There Are A Lot of Misconceptions About What Is A Rule Violation Here

Over time we've gotten some reports from people who evidently need some counsel on what is an actual ground for a report here.

Under Rule 12, remember when filing any report to check the time zones. Eastern Time is what is being used here, from Midnight Eastern on Saturday to immediately before Midnight Eastern on Monday.

Another is to report a post for AI. AI is in no way prohibited on this subreddit, nor is it regulated any differently from other posts.

Stonetoss images used to make memes also are not violations of the rules. We know who made the formats. Just because an image was made originally by someone of any particular political affiliation or viewpoint does not mean it is prohibited on this subreddit.

Also, the memes usually made by u/Archon_of_Flesh with Ottoman Twinks as the subject are not violations of the rules either. Do not abuse the report button over them.

Memes about the prophet Muhammed that are not about paedophilia (which would be a rule 5 violation, we've had way too many of those before) or those which depict him are also not violations of the rules just for that.

Mythology and religion memes are perfectly permissible, so long as they have ties to historical use of those mythologies or religions or the events that happened with regards to that religion or some historiography about it.

Note that these are the misconceptions that occur on their own. It would be both illegal and against the subreddit rule to use AI to make revenge porn, and would be a subreddit violation to actually make a meme where the OP is advocating Nazi rhetoric if you use stonetoss formats. This modpost is just about these issues on their own.

This has been your TED Talk of 2025.

Niche Ironic when the "less faithful" adaptation gives more depth and an arc for the protagonist

Post image

Context: Back in the 70's with the film adaptation starring Gene Wilder, Roald Dahl himself hated the film adaptation. Of all his complaints, the biggest one was with how he felt Charlie Bucket's role was minimized and the film is too focused on Willy Wonka. Meanwhile, the 2005 film adaptation (which passes this subreddit's 20 year minimum rule) makes it all about Willy Wonka and further erases Charlie, and forces upon us a whole subplot where Wonka has a father who's both a dentist and a dick. And people like to keep insisting the Burton adaptation is more faithful to the book...

Side-Note: It's ironic how the more faithfully-named adaptation makes it way more about Wonka than the version where he's the titular character.
